Re: i'm a wuss

My 11 year old daughter stayed out all day all week with me last week and we rarely took the boxes because of the lines. We even took the slowdon lifts, which admittedly sucked. Our fingers and toes got cold once in a while so we went in to warm up every now and again. But we both had an awesome tim...

Re: What's Your Favorite K Ski Shop?

Black Dog is my go to. Dave is great. Best tune and always great deals on almost everything I need. Rarely do I need to shop anywhere else. I hit up base camp outfitters for skins recently and I do stop into Basin during the year end sales for high end Gortex 3L gear at close out prices. I grabbed a...

Re: Reserved

Certainly not an excuse, but there were panic attacks all over the mountain Friday and yesterday. I think patrollers had their hands full transporting able bodied but feable minded skiers off the mountain. I even talked a couple crying girls out of their paralyzed wedge on 10 foot sections of ice.

Slow start to a great season. My New Year’s resolution is more days on the Hill. Life is too short for the low lands.

Re: New Years Eve Day 2017 ......

Please tell me someone shredded a blown lower O. It must have been spectacular with the dry snow K is delivering. I love that trail when it’s soft.

Re: Snowmaking Plan?

Does anyone know when they lit up lower O? The trail report shows it’s closed with guns on. Trying to gauge when they may drop the ropes. Thx. Edit: trail report is in error. No guns on Lower O. Cascade got the Love. And it was damn fine. they were making snow on lower o today. should rock first th...

My daughter and I got caught on the SPQ for a few long stops due to wind. Rough in that wind. She’s a trooper.

Re: Saturday, 12/23 .....

The snow on the groomed trails was delicious cream cheese. Any fresh snow had a thin crust on it. Still soft and turntable but weird. I was only planning to take a couple runs but ended up staying out for hours. Thanks to gortex pro waterproofing. I left around noon when all the HSQs shut down and m...

Electric Vehicle Emissions 27-50% Greater Than Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles Not my wheelhouse exactly but this seems like quite an interesting study.

Since when has it been wrong for a celebrity to voice a political opinion? Trump certainly had no problem voicing his political opinion when he was just a celebrity.

Re: No Canyon Quad Today

Loved to see the lift tech on top of a K1 cabin with tools first thing this morning 8am. I know stuff happens and all that. It's just that stuff happens to Killington way more often than the competition. You guys thinking this is just a K problem kill me. Broken record with what we see at SR. Funny...
